Tsurushibina from Inatori, Shizuoka, since the Edo period
江戸時代の稲取つるし雛

During the Edo period, the fishermen of Inatori were very poor and could not buy expensive hina doll displays for their girls. So the mothers used their old clothes and made small dolls
There are 5 strings with 11 dolls each, two forming a set for each side.

kasafuku 傘福 - "umbrella for good luck"
From Sakata town 酒田地区

They have been introduced in the Edo period along with the sea traffic to Hokkaido.

A special cloth is fixed inside the umbrella and the dolls hung from it.

- quote
What are kasafuku? Literally “happy umbrella”, they are little dolls made from cloth in many different shapes and arranged on strings hanging from an umbrella-type structure.



The craft of making kasafuku, unique to Yamagata Prefecture, is a dying species like so many other traditional crafts in Japan. Such hanging ornaments have been part of Japan’s traditional culture since the Edo Era.

quoting Mark Schumacher

Hina Matsuri 雛祭 or 雛祭り
Doll Festival, Girls' Festival

ALSO KNOWN AS THE
Snake Festival, Peach Blossom Festival,
or Drinking Around a Rolling Stream Festival
Origin = Japan, but with Chinese Antecedents

Japan's Doll Festival has a very curious history, one largely forgotten in contemporary times. Held annually on the first day of the snake on the third day of the third month in the old lunar calendar (March three in modern times) since the mid-to-late Edo period (1600-1867), it was originally a day for ritual purification known in Japanese as Jōshi no Sekku 上巳の節句 (literally “Seasonal Festival of the Snake”) when people would rub their bodies with crude human-shaped figurines made of paper, straw, clay or wood. These figurines served as “scapegoats” for taking on (exorcising) the spiritual pollution and bad karma of the devotee (see below). The word for snake (Jōshi) sounds like the word for girl (Joshi 女子), so the festival eventually became a day devoted to girls. Today the festival is a major joyous event but not a national holiday. Geared towards girls -- the first sekku 節句 (seasonal festival) after the birth of a baby girl -- it is a day when charming dolls are set out for display to symbolize the family's wish that their daughter will be healthy, free from calamity and able to obtain a happy life with a good husband. Also called the Peach Festival or Momo no Sekku 桃の節句, as March is the season when peach flowers are in bloom.
